BF 109 D - The start of a long relationship

+1 It would be nice to add the remaining models not added yet. Same is true hopefully for the Spitfires.

Indeed it would.

Reminds me of the Fw 190 C, an intermediary variant of a very well known German fighter

Very unique vehicle

I just found out that the 109 D had a DB600.
I always thought it was a Jumo.
+1 please

An engine mounted MG FF would be somewhat unique.

Still waiting for them to fix the unhistorical ammunition selection, the MG FF uses, though.

It should only have Practice, Practice-tracer and HEF-T(SD) shells.

The the practice round wouldn’t be used in combat, so it would only be firing Practice-Tracer for armor penetration and the HEF-T.

Very cool to learn about and read on your post

If such a change, pure traceless Practice would be nice.

But that wasn’t really used for combat. Technically only the HEF-T and “Tracer” was used, while the tracerless round was just for gun adjustments.

But I guess, Gaijin might add it as a stealth belt, who knows.

Not sure how effective that would be.

Same as a P-T round against ground, but without tracer. (Which i prefer, cince its better to hit ground and airtragets with, as they usually wont move, nor know from where i attack then.

Sure but they are going to have pretty bad pen for ground targets and against aircraft it would be better to have some HE round as well.

Eh, most roofs are thin and cooling grills. The MG FF is only used early on and on very low BR planes after all.

I guess. But there’s the He 112 V-0, for attacking armor.

With a D-1 armed with a 20mm, and a He-100 also with the same armament.
The German low tier will be strong.
